What thoughts are you choosing andencouraging?"This little volume (the result of meditationand experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on themuch-written upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestiverather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men andwomen to the discovery and perception of the truth that - They themselves are makers of themselvesby virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage; thatmind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of characterand the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may havehitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave inenlightenment and happiness." As a ManThinketh, ~James AllenMartin kicks off this episode with a quick readof the above foreword by James Allen and then breaks down some ofthe main ideas, sharing his experience as it relates to Allen'sopening insights."Mind is the master-weaver, both of theinner garment of character and the outer garment ofcircumstance..."Our habits of thought and behavior direct anddictate our circumstance, our present condition and then,ultimately shape and define our character.Our unique capacity to take mindful control ofTHOUGHT— to direct our thinking toward our goals and ambitions isomnipotent.
